Pagoda Immortality

At the edge of the east covered by fog, beside the wide straight road, an old and majestic stone tablet stands tall.

On the stone tablet, there are a few big characters "Yuxu border, no entry for idle people", which means that if you go further, you will reach the territory of Yuxu Palace, the first power in the nebula.

In the stone chamber at the base of the stone tablet, an old man with a fairy-like appearance is meditating with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a sound of wind sounded, and the old Taoist slowly opened his eyes, then he stood up and walked out of the stone chamber, looking at a young man in white who was looking up at the stone tablet in front of him, frowning and asked:

"Who are you?"

Seeing this, Lu Li quickly took out a jade card and handed it to the old man, "Junior Lu Li, invited by Elder Jiang, is going to Yuxu."

The old man took the jade card and looked at it, and then looked at Lu Li, and suddenly smiled, "So, you are Lu Li, you are really extraordinary, no wonder you are valued by Junior Brother Jiang."

"Senior knows me?" Lu Li said in surprise.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Jiang has already greeted me and asked me to help keep an eye on a boy named Lu Li. I didn't expect you to come after such a long time."

"So that's the case. I was delayed by something..."

"It's okay. You want to go to my Yuxu Palace to enter, right? I'll take you there right now?" the old man asked enthusiastically.

"What about here..." Lu Li glanced at the stone tablet.

"It's okay. I'm just pretending to be here. Now the world is peaceful and no one dares to trespass into my Yuxu Palace."

"In that case, I thank you, senior." Lu Li was delighted to hear that. Compared to him going in and hitting a wall everywhere, having an expert to lead the way would definitely save a lot of trouble.

"Well, let's go."

The old man looked indifferent, but he was also impatient. After speaking, he waved his hand and the door of the stone chamber closed. Then he grabbed Lu Li's arm and flashed to five or six miles away.

The old man did not fly in the air, but just took Lu Li to move in the fog.

Not long after.

A towering and wide stone mountain suddenly appeared in front of Lu Li. There were no trees on the stone mountain, only ancient pines with strange shapes. A path paved with pebbles meandered up from the foot of the mountain.

Next to the path, there was a huge waterfall over a hundred feet wide falling from the sky, which was very spectacular.

There were disciples guarding the intersection. When they saw the old man coming, they hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Meet Elder Lu."

The old man said "hmm" and took Lu Li to fly up the mountain.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, Lu Li found that it was not the square he imagined, but a long and secluded canyon. There were mountains on both sides of the canyon, and the mountains were surrounded by spiritual mist and clouds. The cool air made people feel relaxed and happy.

There was a clear river thirty feet wide in the canyon. The river water flowed to the cliff on the right side of the two people, forming the magnificent waterfall landscape before.

There was a path by the river.

Elder Lu stopped slightly, and then took Lu Li to fly along the path to the depths of the canyon.

Elder Lu was not slow, but the two flew for more than an hour, leaving behind countless mountains and forests, and finally arrived at a vast bluestone square.

The square was crowded with people, and it was very lively.

Just when Lu Li thought he had reached his destination, Elder Lu suddenly grabbed his arm and flew towards the north of the square.

In this way, they flew for an unknown period of time until they arrived at a square again, and then they stopped.

Elder Lu said, "This is the inner gate of Yuxu. You wait, I will notify Junior Brother Jiang to come over."

"Thank you, Elder."

Lu Li glanced around the square and the undulating misty mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It really deserves to be the first force in the nebula. Apart from anything else, the richness of the spiritual energy and the vastness of the land are not comparable to ordinary forces.

Lu Li thought that Elder Lu would notify Jiang Yushan through the sound transmission jade, but when he saw the other party approaching a small building called "Sound Transmission Pavilion", he realized that he was overthinking.

The Yuxu Palace is too large, and the general sound transmission jade can't transmit sound in such a large area. It can only contact each peak through the formation.

After waiting for a long time.

Jiang Yushan flew over from the sky on the east side of the square. When he saw the two, he first bowed to Elder Lu and thanked him, "I really troubled Senior Brother Lu this time."

Elder Lu laughed, "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, but Junior Brother, you can't hide your monkey wine anymore."

Jiang Yushan was stunned and smiled, "Of course, when I finish this matter, I will drink with Senior Brother, how about it?"

"That's great, but I still have to go on a mission. I'll find Junior Brother when I come back?"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you anytime."

"......"

Elder Lu and Jiang Yushan exchanged a few polite words, and then praised Lu Li, and then left the inner gate square, apparently to continue to perform the duty.

"Lu kid, you really surprised me. It's been such a short time since we last met, and you've reached the peak." After Elder Lu left, Jiang Yushan couldn't help but look at Lu Li carefully.

The surprised look on his face showed that he couldn't calm down now.

"As you know, Wenyuantai Trial is a place of opportunity. I also rely on this trial, so..."

Jiang Yushan shook his head and said, "Wenyuantai is a place of opportunity, but not everyone has the ability to obtain it. For example, our Yuxu Palace sent out 300 people this time. Do you know how many people got the opportunity?"

"I would like to hear more details." Lu Li asked curiously.

"Less than 50 people, the other 250 people didn't get anything, and the highest level was only one small realm..." Jiang Yushan didn't know if he was angry or what, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Well, that's indeed a heavy loss." Lu Li knew something about the situation inside, but he didn't expect Yuxu Temple to be so miserable.

You know, for a first-class force like Yuxu Temple, the standard for recruiting formal disciples is three spiritual roots, which means that the talent of these 300 people is at least three spiritual roots.

With such talent, the highest level was only one small realm, which is indeed difficult to satisfy these high-level people.

"Yeah, but it's all in the past. Compared with those trash, you are a pleasant surprise for my Yuxu Temple. I'm sure the headmaster will be very happy when he knows it. Let's go, I'll take you to register for entry..."

As he said, Jiang Yushan took Lu Li to a tower.

While walking, Lu Li suddenly asked, "Senior, didn't you say before that you wanted to confirm my identity? How come you got the result so soon?"

Jiang Yushan glanced at Lu Li and said as he walked, "It's just a formality, but the result of the investigation shocked me."

"Shocked?"

Lu Li was full of doubts. He shouldn't be shocked, right? Could it be that Xie Changan fabricated my identity and boasted that I was a peerless genius?

If that's the case, it would be fun...
